Craft and design. Hybrid technologies. Queering up design.
Weaving code, performing time, arranging silence, design for all the projects I never did and for a society that moves beyond gender..what if, and why not .
My practice wants to explore the narrative within design; its physical and conceptual limits; to challenge the disciplinary and gender boundaries. Informed by, but mostly, inspired by research, many of my projects lie in the intersection of craft and design.

The challenge is to find and explore possible connections.
In a closer look, there is a thread that links all of my works, in not necessarily a progressive line.
In that, social and political cannot be excluded in the description of most of my works.
I believe that our role as designers is to apply design thinking in every possible aspect of human -and non human- activity, but mostly, provide a so called creative exit (as Gregory Bateson would say) of which the world today is in desperate need.
